Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3283

For a moment, the glowing runes in the sky stood still, giving both the decoy and strike team respite from the onslaught of Tower Tier spells.

"Move!" With his opponents paralyzed and the cover fire interrupted, Lith unfolded his wings and traversed the final kilometers separating him and his group from the World Tree in the blink of an eye.

"Wait, you bastard!" Radoghorn was still regenerating and he couldn't afford the risk of sending Valtak alone.

Sure, The Golems were motionless, but there was no telling how long the phenomenon would last. Were the colossal constructs to recover while the Father of Fire was away from both Radoghorn and Lith, Valtak's personal mission would fail.

"Don't worry, Father. We can catch up with them again." The Elder Wyrm drew avid gulps of air, his lungs burning from the mere effort of keeping Radoghorn's fighting pace. "Focus on recovering."

Away from the ground and its nutrients, the regenerative powers he drew from the Titania would be useless and the Champion of Fire would remain crippled while he chased after Lith flying.

"No, we can't." Lith's team and the two Fire Dragons had reached deep into the enemy lines. "We need to keep moving or the moment these things snap out of whatever is affecting them we'll be surrounded and neutralized." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Radoghorn carried Valtak on his back and ran on all fours as fast as he could. It was slower than flying but much faster than walking. I also allowed the Father of Fire to catch his breath while the Champion of Fire rebuilt his strength.

'I can't believe we did it!' Vastor raised his hand and his teammates mirrored his movements, unleashing each a tier five Chaos Spell, Howling Hunger.

The five spells struck the shivering World Tree's trunk at the ground level and opened as many deep holes.

'I can't believe we failed to find a single fucking corridor even with a target this big!' Tessa replied.

The holes lead nowhere. The spells had struck some of the solid sections of the World Tree and there was only wood inside, no access to the internal network where Solus was trapped.

'This is Jirni's doing.' Lith said while throwing a glance at the dozens of intact yet screaming Wood Golems just a few meters behind them. 'She must have been forced to kill the elf and made it count. The problem is that whatever she did, is not going to last long. We need to find a passage and get to Solus and we need to do it now!'

Inside the World Tree, at the same time.

'Epphy, stay close to me!' Ripha spun the Fury in a circle, clearing the room of the Puppets that had surrounded them and sending them to crash against the shutter sealing the corridor.

Then, she raised her left hand and released a tier three Chaos spell, Howling Void, from each of her fingers. Five black pillars as large as a small tree and as fast as a bullet struck the just-closed wall in a circular pattern.

The First Ruler of the Flames grabbed Spare Parts by the waist and charged forward. The Fury of Menadion spun faster and faster in her free hand until she threw it at the damaged wooden shutter, blasting it off its hinges.

Once on the other side, Ripha unfurled her wings again before asking.

'Which way now?'

'There!' Ghar'mar recognized a corridor leading to the external layer and from there straight to the Moon Elves' village.
